Frequently Asked Questions
What is the storage capacity and interface of the 24AA256-I/MF EEPROM?
The 24AA256-I/MF provides 256 Kbits (32 KB) of non-volatile EEPROM storage accessed via a 2-wire I2C serial interface supporting clock frequencies up to 400 kHz, making it straightforward to connect to any I2C-capable microcontroller.
How many write cycles can the 24AA256-I/MF endure before reliability degrades?
This device is rated for up to 1,000,000 write/erase cycles per page, making it suitable for applications with frequent data updates such as event counters, configuration storage, and data logging in industrial and IoT equipment.
Which PCB form factor does the 24AA256-I/MF use and how does it affect board space?
The 24AA256-I/MF is housed in a DFN-S-8 (Small Outline No-lead, 8-pin) package, which has a very small footprint compared to SOIC-8, helping designers conserve PCB area in space-constrained IoT nodes and wearable electronics.
For an industrial sensor needing long-term calibration storage, why choose the 24AA256-I/MF over a larger NOR flash?
The 24AA256-I/MF offers 200-year data retention and I2C simplicity in a compact 8-pin DFN package, eliminating the need for SPI drivers and large flash overhead when only 32 KB of calibration or configuration data must be stored across a -40°C to 85°C operating range.
